Q: Can we chat over the phone/facetime before the booking process?

Of course!!! We can set up a time and date to video chat/phone call.

Q: What if I need you for the whole day like 10-12 hours?

I don't shoot long hour weddings anymore. The max I can do is 8 hours. It’s not because I don’t want to capture your whole big day. It’s because I’ve committed to being BOLD this year. By bold I mean only taking on elopements and mirco weddings.

Q: What is considered a micro wedding?

A micro wedding is an intimate affair, typically with no more than 50 guests. They still feature time-honored traditions that make a wedding but on a much smaller scale.

Q: What is considered an elopement wedding?

The true definition of an elopement is when a couple runs off secretly to get married. Some people will “elope” and have their mom, dad, brothers and sisters with them but that's about it. Some couples simply use their photographer as the witness for the marriage register and have literally no one else there.

Q: Do you do elopements and micro weddings outside of NY?

YES 100% YES. I'LL SAIL THE 7 SEAS TO CAPTURE YOUR LOVE STORY

Q: What is your traveling fee outside of NY but driving distance?

A travel fee of $60-150 is required for all locations beyond Long Island. This is to cover parking, tolls, and gas. This travel fee deposit is required a month before the wedding or engagement session date

Q: How many photos will I recieve?

For couple/engagements/maternity - 60-80 photos edited. For weddings I don't have an exact amount because every wedding is different but you will receive all the best photos from beginning, middle and end! * My max is 500-800 photos* This depends on the hours of coverage

Q: When can I expect my photos?

For elopements + small weddings delivery time is 4-6 weeks, from the day of the session. For weddings over 50 people delivery time is 6-8 weeks. A couple session delivery time is 2-3 weeks. Sneaks are sent for all sessions and weddings 5-8 days after the session date

Q: Will the usb have all the photos?

Yes! The sneak peeks and the edits. Only the best of the best pictures will be in the usb. Quality over quantity. The USB comes with a little box

About Claudia Ayala Photography

Claudia Ayala Photography

Photographer

You want to capture the heartfelt, milestone moments – but also the head-thrown-back laughter and the ease of your connection. You want photos that look like art but feel exactly like you. You’re in the right place. I’ll never stop being sentimental about the simple beauty of people living, celebrating, and loving. I’m endlessly inspired by the way life unfolds when people are just being themselves.

With a mix of documentary, candid and editorial style with both film and digital photography, we’ll transform those slices of time into memories you can hold, cherish, and share for generations to come. Everyone is welcome! The magic isn’t in the posed, “perfect” moments it’s in documenting the real, raw moments so you can see the story unfolding right in front of you

Amazing Photographer and Person!

Claudia is FANTASTIC. Her photos are beautiful and natural. No stiff, awkward wedding photos that you feel like you see all the time. She is a true artist and awesome to work with. She made this somewhat camera-shy couple feel at ease, and we are so proud of the pictures we got for our perfect day. We heartily recommend her services, you won't regret it for one second!
